2008 Philippe Bornard Ploussard Côtes du Jura

SKU #1113969

Philippe Bornard inherited his vineyards from his father, who had only sold his grapes to co-ops during his own lifetime. Another winemaker convinced Philippe to make his own wine, and now 27-years later, he is being certified biodynamic. Bornard's Ploussard vines are grown at high altitudes in red loam soil. It realizes a delicate red wine with notes of rhubarb and pomegranate. 12.5% abv.

Product Reviews:

This is the anti-fruit bomb. Full of mushroom, earth and salt on the nose and palate, complementing delicate cherry and orange fruit. It has a hint of spritz that fades once it's been open a bit, but I actually like that liveliness.

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.
